24 @deftypefn Extension char* concat (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2}, @dots{}, @code{NULL})
26 Concatenate zero or more of strings and return the result in freshly
27 @code{xmalloc}ed memory. Returns @code{NULL} if insufficient memory is
28 available. The argument list is terminated by the first @code{NULL}
29 pointer encountered. Pointers to empty strings are ignored.
31 @end deftypefn
33 NOTES
35 This function uses xmalloc() which is expected to be a front end
36 function to malloc() that deals with low memory situations. In
37 typical use, if malloc() returns NULL then xmalloc() diverts to an
38 error handler routine which never returns, and thus xmalloc will
39 never return a NULL pointer. If the client application wishes to
40 deal with low memory situations itself, it should supply an xmalloc
41 that just directly invokes malloc and blindly returns whatever
42 malloc returns.
